>became UFC Heavyweight champion when it mattered and not the bum division it's been for almost 10 years
He's fine

Ufc sucks

yes, only won the belt by taking shitload of steroids against an old lhw, got knocked out by can Pedro Rizzo, supposedly a submission specialist and fat guy Ben Rothwell submitted him with a playground bully choke and he got knoced out by mr Ronda Rousey

Nigga needs to hit the weights.

>Barnett was stripped of the title on July 26, 2002, after testing positive for anabolic steroids in a post-fight drug test
Yes.

too be fair he was also fighting in Japan at the time where roids are legal and insisted on cause everyone was using roids in Pride

Anybody who has losses in real fighting are fake tough guys.

You need to hit them even more

No way bro. Josh plays war hammer and reads manga and listens to death metal

Got BTFO by Ronda's husband in like 30 seconds.

>t. Fake tough guy

Yeah. I saw him in a food store trying to steal candy and mumbling something about "electrical infetterence" (wat?). I punched him in the face and one punch KO'd him and I'm an 18 year old 5'6" 125lbs zoomer manlet who bags groceries for minimum wage. He's a straight pudgy boomer bitch.

Ronda's husband is like 6'7

Damn bro join the ufc bro you'll fer ser become a champ. Don't listen to the people who say you'll get knocked out they're just negative. Train mma and don't stop until you get several concussions. You're a prodigy dude.

Barnett had not fought in Japan yet when he got busted for roids.
These “fake tough guy” threads are getting really sad.

so? Stefan Struve is 7'0 and lost 3 of his last 4 fights.

In short, Yes.

He needs to trane UFC if he wants to be UFC champ bro
Clearly you don’t know what you’re talking about

We know those test results were bullshit, that’s why he took NSAC to court multiple times and doesn’t work for UFC anymore because he doesn’t trust them, Dana had beef with him from day one about marketing and booking and payment disputes so he was always shady with Barnett and not other people who were clear career long steroid users like Couture etc. disregarding the fact that even if he was on steroids, at least half of UFCs guys are on steroids.

Also Pedro Rizzo is not a can lmao.

As a fighter he’s okay. As a grappler he’s well above average. He submitted Dean Lister with a catch as catch can technique in Metamoris.

Struve was a legit ufc fighter he beat Stipe Miocic who's probably the HW goat in the ufc

Yes. He won the UFC belt because of roids,popped, and got slept right after. Then came back to the UFC clean and got slept again. Shit his steroid abuse is the reason Affliction,another MMA company went out of business.

Look at his record. He has wins over Schilt, Severn, Couture, A Emelianenko, Big Nog, Hunt, Nastula, Yoshida, Monson, Yvel, Kharatonov, Mir, Arlovski, Nelson. Most of those guys are champions in their respective fields of striking or grappling. Schilt is widely considered the heavyweight kickboxing GOAT and Barnett beat him twice. Yoshida and Pawel are Olympic gold medallists in Judo. Mir and Big Nog are easily the GOAT BJJ players at heavyweight in MMA. Hunt is a K-1 Grand Prix winner which makes him a top 3 heavyweight kick boxer at the time, and he fought Hunt in his prime.

He’s not the greatest Heavyweight of all time but he is very legit. If you think everyone except the GOAT is a fake tough guy because they lost some fights here and there then idk what to tell you. I guess there’s only like 2 non fake tough guys in human history then.

Nice
>I guess there’s only like 2 non fake tough guys in human history then
Took you a while but you figured it out by the end

>put all your money into one show where your main draw has a history of positive tests
>tests positive, no more card
>if only there was something we could’ve done to prevent this
>it’s that guy’s fault were shit at business, get him!

Go on then. Who are they. Let me guess, one of them is Bruce Lee, a guy who is only known to have fought once and lost, and who’s the other God Emperor Donald Trump?

The ufc goats all used steroids though. Silva and Jon both tested positive, Aldo got flushed after the usada era, and GSP ran away from the ufc when usada came.

The heavyweight division was the biggest joke. Shut up, buddy, you know jack squat.

worked, smoke some weed or something boomer

In UFC yeah. Prides Heavyweight was popping.
